Signs
Wed, 02/22/2006 - 14:35Topic: Teen Zone
Does anyone not have a sign that they are going to have a seizure, you know with the smells or tasting. Because I have read a lot about that and wonder why i dont smell or taste anything.

hey, yeah i don't get signs usually either, only on my last seizure have i gotten a sign.
otherwise theyre totally out of the blue and as said above, very embarrasing. even this last one i got a sign, but i didnt know what it was, so of course i just let my boyfriend see me have a seizure right in front of him.
not at all fun, and i dont even want to know what he was thinking. also said above.
good luck, and i hope things go well. not everyone gets the signs, and sometimes, you should also feel lucky, because then you dont know you'll have a seizure and you can't say 'oh well i could've dont something to stop it.' cause it's never your fault when you dont know its coming on.
GOOD LUCK!
-hope

oh yeah i definitly don't have any signs i've had maybe 3 siezures when i've felt them coming on it wasn't fun, but i felt it by vision like i couldn't see and my body locked up. So I know how you feel when you say you don't have any signs and you totally embarrass yourself in front of strangers or in front of your friends i really hate it like they try to comfort you but who knows what they are thinking inside thier head. so yeah i know what you go through.
